It is odd for a person to give a stranger a gift unless it is at a celebration or through charity. It is a flat out rule to never accept any type of gift from strangers when you are not with your parent or caregiver. This includes any offer whatsoever. Toys, books, games and candy should never be accepted from a stranger. It is illegal to put a child on TV, in the newspaper or in a movie without your parent’s permission. Any offer like this is false and illegal. You now have the option to discuss this topic, repeat this information or click to continue.
